• 13 Mar 2019 in Senate: This House has been engaged in an illegality by looking at reports beyond the three months. If the Constitution says that Parliament shall consider and adopt within three months, what business do my Committee and colleagues have to be discussing reports for Financial Years 2013 to 2018? We want to take a different perspective to this matter and ask ourselves what the Constitution requires of us. It is possible for us to adopt the reports that were tabled today within three months. The Public Audit Act, Part 6, goes ahead and says:- “That within three months after Parliament has adopted ... view
• 13 Mar 2019 in Senate: to adopt, so that by the end of this year, all of the 47 county assemblies and the Senate shall be current. Madam Temporary Speaker, if we took that approach, it has financial benefits for our county governments. This is because the Division of Revenue is based on the last audited accounts as adopted by Parliament. It is an illegality for us to be considering Division of Revenue on accounts of Financial Year 2014/2015. It must be on the basis of Financial Year 2017/2018. The Constitution says, “shall within three months”. We expect that the national accounts shall be adopted ... view
• 28 Feb 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, one of the most favourite verses that the Senate Majority Leader always quotes comes from the book of Luke 24:18 where Cleopas asks:- ‘Are you the only stranger in Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days?’ When you listen to the Statement by the Senate Majority Leader, a stranger in Jerusalem would sit down and would believe everything that the Senate Majority Leader has said. He has made a lot of statements of fact and because I did not want to interfere with his logical flow, it will be extremely ... view
• 28 Feb 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am worried about the position that he has already taken on the Floor on the matter. He has promised to deal with it in a manner that is consistent with his contribution on the Floor of the House. view
• 28 Feb 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, among the Suba Community, we have a saying that “the person who breaks wind in a public gathering is the always the first to start a fight”. I will leave the matter at that point. Finally, this House will not come to a conclusion that whatever Sen. Murkomen has placed before us is the gospel truth simply because he has stated it. It must be tested through a competent Committee so that it is not reported that the Senate deliberated on the matter and castigated the Director of Criminal Investigation (DCI). I have a lot of faith ... view
• 26 Feb 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my apologies. I was consulting on some Great Lake Region issues with sen. Outa and that is why it showed as Sen. Outa was on a point of order. view
• 26 Feb 2019 in Senate: This could be the second time in the history of this nation that the Senate is receiving this Report. When this nation was at a crossroad and stuck over electoral reforms, the whole nation looked upon the Senators, particularly, Sen. Orengo, Sen. Murungi, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., Sen. Murkomen and others to break the deadlock. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 26 Feb 2019 in Senate: I request that you give directions on how the Report that has been tabled before this House will be processed. After being processed, could the House get a report maybe from the Committee on Justice, Legal and Human Rights Committee? This is because we have invested a lot financially and politically in the electoral process. Elections are things that definitely affect counties. It would be proper for this House to interrogate that Report from IEBC and for the relevant committee to report back to the House. view
• 26 Feb 2019 in Senate: I say this because it could be unprecedented since this could be the second time that this is coming to the House. view
• 26 Feb 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, it is both. However, I can contribute if you allow me. view
